Cozy Coupe: An American Legend


This week the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe will be enshrined in the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum, and rightfully so! Back in the day I was a proud owner of one of these sweet rides. I think my parents have no one to blame but themselves for providing the gateway to me being a speed junkie. I loved that car and spent many a hour behind the wheel, constantly snagging my heels on the bottom of the bench and crashing into everything I could find......man they don't make front bumpers like they used to! That car was a tank and could easily handle any abuse I threw at it. So many good memories from that car.

The Cozy Coupe was the best selling car in 2008 with 457,000 units. Who said America can't build a popular small car? And like most small cars, the Cozy Coupe is made almost entirely of plastic and returns excellent gas mileage....a tad different than The Colonel will, but I don't care.

Cozy Coupe, I salute you! [foxnews]

That picture is a little creepy, Robert! I have old video of you which I recently saw, trying to shove Chris out of a cozy coupe when you were 2 years old, so you could get a turn!

This is your funniest and most clever blog, yet. And, yes, that picture is totally creepy! I remember you and Andy Rember fighting over the cozy coupe in Holland - that's why you got one when we got back!
